If I were principal for a day I would do lots of things but of course you can’t do all my ideas in one day. So here are my ideas.

For my first idea, I would start a fundraiser like Stroll for a Goal, except I would send all the money to find cures for sicknesses like cancer or Ebola. This will bring kids together to raise money for a great cause!

For my second idea, I would have a pizza/popcorn party for all grades so kids can socialize and make new friends.

For my third idea, you know how we have authors come in and talk about how they write books, why don’t we have people come in and talk about their jobs? That when then kids can start thinking about what they want to be when they grow up!

For my fourth idea, I would order a field trip to my family farm and my mom and I will teach them about every animal of the farm, such as horses (big/mini), donkeys (mini) and cows. We could possibly even show them how to ride horses properly.

For my fifth and final idea, I would extend both math and recess for 30 minutes, because kids need the education and exercise to keep their brains healthy and strong.

Being principal for a day would be really, really great except for all the paperwork. I think my ideas would help make this school a better place!
